Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 dummy images leaked. Thanks to 9to5Google’s collaboration with Sonny Dickson, we now have more photos of these devices. The foldable devices will be officially unveiled in Paris on July 10. A few weeks before the unveiling, prototype and dummy photos of the devices leaked, giving us important information about the devices.
The devices shown in the photos are prototypes or “dummy” models, indicating they will undergo extensive changes during the design process. These images might be showcasing a display with a more pronounced seam than what the final version will have, or they might use an older display just to highlight the phones’ silhouette and overall design. However, users are hopeful for a less prominent crease when the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip are fully opened to 180 degrees.
Additionally, the photos display a black prototype variant with “Samsung” roughly stamped on the hinges. This could mean Samsung is considering replacing the etched logo seen on previous Fold and Flip models with a stamped logo, as seen here. The etched logo is generally preferred, as it adds a touch of sophistication to these $2,000 devices.
Another small detail to note is the possible flare in the hinge protection plate at the top and bottom of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. This is somewhat challenging to confirm, and the lighting in the images might be misleading, but it looks like the hinge extends a few millimeters further from the main phone panels at the ends compared to the middle, where the Samsung logo is situated. There is no such visible detail for the Flip 6.
Despite these minor observations, Samsung’s design improvements are evident in these prototype units. Both phones appear to have a smaller bezel around the internal display, and their overall footprint looks slightly more refined compared to last year’s models.
